Piracy again killing Malayalam cinema and we all know how bad it can affect a cinema and its box office performance. The latest on this list is Dulquer Salmaan starrer film Charlie which is directed by Martin Prakatt. The film which released on the 24 December last year was still running with satisfactory collection in Box office.
But as per reports the pirated prints of the film is available in the form of CD’s and DVD’s in the street Markets of Bangalore City and its plenty there. Everybody knows this as well because it is not the first time that Malayalam films are sold in the street Markets of Bangalore. At the time of Bangalore Days, the producer of that film, Mr. Anwar Rasheed had filed a complaint against this. But nothing had happened and it is still continuing.
We have seen that in the time of Drishyam, Premam and many other films as well. Films like Drishyam, Premam, Bangalore days were all time blockbusters and these may have done only a little damage to them. But films like Charlie or any other films which are usual successes may be affected big time with this piracy as the collection will decrease drastically and it even affects profit share by big margin.
Charlie has got mixed opinions is already showing drop in box office performance after the earth shattering opening weekend. Now this piracy will add up to that drop and it will clearly make the film to go down as a usual hit. Someone had took a photo from the streets of Bangalore where the pirated prints of the film is selling and he took it after he got blocked by the seller at first.
Nobody is really care about this as the officials who is assigned to make things clear regarding this issue is sleeping somewhere like an Arctic Deer. Cinema is being killed by these piracy from long back and still the condition getting worse. There are many complaints and cry about this issue has been happened, but the ones who are behind this piracy is walking free like a happy morning walk in the park.
